It exists (film/TV, real estate, etc), but I doubt the person in this article would have paid for that when they could just scam a bookstore instead.

I think that's the right word for buying something that you intend to return after 'profiting' from having it on display for a while. A scam doesn't have to benefit you financially to be a scam.
